Stop Iran Rally From NYC
Once in place, it would put Iran under “intense scrutiny forever” and keep the world united in ensuring that its nuclear activities “remain wholly peaceful”, he added.
At its heart, the agreement calls for the United States and other world powers to end economic and military sanctions in exchange for concessions from Iran in its nuclear program.
During the first half of 2015, AIPAC spent around US$1.6 million on congressional lobbying efforts to introduce legislation giving lawmakers the ability to review an Iran nuclear deal, which the group strongly opposes. That would lead to a vote to override his veto, and the administration is searching for 34 votes in the Senate or 146 in the House, enough to assure the veto sticks.
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, the top Democrat on the committee, said he had not yet decided whether to support the deal but that he was pleased to see he believed the agreement was strengthened by an April framework.
Such stalling tactics will be more hard to carry out if the U.S. provides Iran with “training and workshops” to counter nuclear security threats, as the deal requires. “I look at the things that they need to do, the way it’s laid out, and I don’t think you could more perfectly lay it out”, Corker said.
Secretary of State John Kerry is casting the choice on the Iran nuclear deal in stark terms – an agreement that would limit the Islamic nation’s nuclear program, or no deal at all. David Perdue (R-GA) said he was “outraged” the Obama administration brought the deal to the United Nations before Congress looked at it.
After Defense Secretary Ash Carter tried to change Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s mind about the Iranian deal, Secretary of State John Kerry lobbied members of Congress on Capitol Hill.
The Obama administration has said it is misleading to talk of “secret deals”, saying that the IAEA always has a duty of confidentiality in its inspections process, and that the confidential agreements are part of the deal.
Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, said it was the third Kerry briefing or hearing he’d heard in two days and that the message had been consistent.
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a Republican presidential candidate, said the “next president is under no legal or moral obligation to live up to” the deal, which he described as “terrible”.
But President Rouhani said in a TV address that Iran’s path was a “path of moderation”.
“I don’t think it got very much”, said Dershowitz.
NEW YORK (Sinclair Broadcast Group) – Activists, pro-Israel supporters and protesters gathered during rush hour Wednesday (July 22) in Times Square with one common goal: stop the Iran nuclear deal.
But Adel al-Jubeir said Tehran’s support for regional “terrorism” remains a concern.
According to a Pew poll published July 21, 48 percent of U.S. respondents replied that they disapproved of the deal, while 38 percent approved. He was referring to commercials aired by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee urging lawmakers to reject the deal.
